Summary
I wish I could understand children the way Francesco Tonucci does. We must allow children to be independent, explore, and play. This work, based on mathematics in Early Childhood Education, aims to provide a view of mathematical learning through experience, play, and manipulation. It focuses on students' interests and active participation, leaving aside the production of worksheets that is observed in many classrooms every day. A proposal is presented for teaching measurement, promoting: the development of mathematical thinking and language, the development of comparison and estimation skills, and problem-solving

Summary
This Final Degree Project consists of a systematic review of scientific literature on the relationship between physical activity in Primary Education students and its influence on academic performance. To this end, 12 relevant studies were selected based on specific criteria (language, recency, age group, among others), following an exhaustive search in databases such as Scopus and Google Scholar. The results show that, in most cases, there is a positive association between physical activity and academic performance, although some studies did not find a significant relationship. The methodology employed allowed for the analysis of various variables such as frequency of activity, the influence of sociodemographic factors, and the role of Physical Education. It is concluded that, although there is no unanimity, the general trend supports considering physical activity as a factor that can contribute to academic success in Primary Education.

Summary
The objective of this study was to evaluate the attitudes and personal and social perceptions of primary school students regarding women's sports, focusing primarily on soccer. To this end, data was collected from various schools. The participating students were in their final year of primary school. Of the total subjects, 53% were boys and 47% were girls, with an average age of 10.85. The results showed significant differences between men and women. On the one hand, they continue to hold a stereotyped view of the game, and they also affirm that boys, compared to girls, tend to be in better physical condition and have greater athletic aptitude.

Summary
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that primarily affects communication, social interaction, and behavioral and cognitive flexibility. In the educational context, it poses a significant challenge to achieving genuine and effective inclusion, particularly during the Early Childhood Education stage, where play plays a crucial role in children’s holistic development. This Final Degree Project aims to analyze the main barriers faced by children with ASD in play and socialization situations within regular classrooms, and to propose pedagogical strategies that foster their active participation. Through a theoretical review and a selection of intervention proposals, the importance of play as a natural context for social learning is emphasized, as well as the key role of peer groups and adults as facilitators of inclusion. Several educational intervention models and programs focused on students with ASD are presented and compared, such as the TEACCH Model, ABA, the Denver Model, DIR/Floortime, and PRT, evaluating their contributions to the development of social and communicative skills. The project concludes by highlighting the need for a school system committed to diversity, one that promotes accessible play environments, meaningful social relationships, and a pedagogical approach grounded in understanding, empathy, and collaboration.

Summary
This Final Degree Project deals with the attention to cultural diversity in the Galician educational environment. The study is based on the growth of students of foreign origin in the Galician educational system, analysing how the Department of Culture, Education, Vocational Training and Universities addresses this challenge through key documents such as the 2005 Reception Plan, Decree 150/2022 or the recent Galician Programme for the Reception and Support of Foreign Students, and with the analysis of the responses of teachers from three schools in a questionnaire that addresses the same issue in order to find out how the theoretical measures offered by the administration are put into practice. The results showed an intention to move towards inclusion on the part of the institution, but also evidenced weaknesses that persist over the years which seem to be ignored due to the secondary role given to intercultural education, some of them being the scarce real involvement of families, the lack of specific proposals and resources to meet the needs of pupils of foreign origin, teachers with little training in intercultural education, addressing the intercultural character of the pupils only on specific days, etc.

Summary
This Final Degree Project presents an educational proposal aimed at children aged 4 to 5, with the aim of working on geometric content through psychomotor skills. The proposal is based on the need to develop meaningful, practical, and playful learning of mathematics in early childhood education, where the body, movement, and direct experience play a central role in the construction of knowledge. Contributions from various authors are included, highlighting the importance of respecting the developmental rhythms of childhood, promoting the manipulation of concrete materials, using the immediate environment as a teaching resource, and employing play as the main learning tool. Likewise, the proposal by Martínez Recio e Juan Rivaya (1989) is reviewed in depth. They advocate the introduction of geometry through physical and sensory action, by working on basic spatial concepts such as orientation, proximity, interiority, and directionality, together with the exploration of geometric figures and bodies. The educational proposal will be contextualized in a setting related to the students' snack time, combining psychomotor activities, games, artistic expression, and dramatization. The design aims to promote active, manipulative, playful learning adapted to the needs of this stage, contributing to the child's overall development and respecting their exploratory and creative nature. This teaching methodology allows students to improve their logical organization of space, becoming aware of their own bodies and acquiring a solid foundation in geometric thinking through the acquisition of basic geometric and situational concepts.

Summary
The present work attempts to test the possibility of introducing historical thinking in children aged 5-6, using the Galician heritage as the main educational tool. Although historical thinking is reserved for more advanced stages, different studies demonstrate its feasibility in early childhood education through optimal methodologies. Galician heritage offers a close and significant path that evokes interest in the past and consolidates cultural identity. This work is divided into two distinct parts: a theoretical framework that underlies the work; an educational project with different proposals and playful activities to work historical thinking, promoting a critical education, own and connected with the realities of children.
